During my morning run, I pondered last night’s address by President Obama regarding the current situation in Iraq. What immediately struck me was that Obama spent more time talking about what he did not want to do than really defining what needed to be done.

Everyone is talking about an F/A-18 aircraft striking an ISIS artillery piece — hardly a strategic objective. This does back up what Obama so narrowly defined last night as his intent – address the threat to Americans in Irbil and Baghdad. I am pleased that we took the action to provide humanitarian relief.

The president was very careful in his words, and they were mostly political – not practical. But Obama was more adamant in declaring what he is not going to do — meaning the enemy has been provided a gap to exploit.

However, why was Barack Hussein Obama in such a rush to provide U.S. military resources in Libya supporting Islamist forces? We were told it was a humanitarian crisis, but it seems now hardly so. And please, don’t tell me it was just NATO — America is NATO. And now Americans know Libya as the place where an ambassador and three other Americans were killed in a terrorist attack, our embassy has been evacuated, and as we reported here, the same Islamists we supported have established a caliphate in eastern Libya.

Last night, President Obama had the chance to define a clear and present evil in our time. ISIS represents the Nazis of this century. There is no clearer portrayal of 7th century barbarism than this movement which we have allowed to gain strength, momentum and victory. Its blitz across Syria and Iraq can easily be compared to that of the 20th century blitzkrieg of Hitler. And the savagery being inflicted is beyond belief — consider the marking of Christian homes — history does repeat itself.

In the summer of 2007, then-Sen. Barack Obama was asked if he was worried that his proposed withdrawal from Iraq would result in ethnic cleansing or even genocide.

He scoffed at the premise.

“By that argument you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now — where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife — which we haven’t done,” he told the Associated Press. “We would be deploying unilaterally and occupying the Sudan, which we haven’t done. Those of us who care about Darfur don’t think it would be a good idea.”

Obama glossed over a crucial distinction. The slaughter in Congo wasn’t caused by our actions. The assumption behind the AP’s question — backed by countless experts — was that a withdrawal from Iraq at the time would almost certainly lead to slaughter. Obama’s remarkable answer was that even if you accepted the premise that leaving would ignite mass slaughter, it would still be right to bug out of Iraq.

Of course, as is his wont, Obama covered all of the rhetorical bases. He acknowledged that leaving prematurely would be bad.

Never watch any of the photo ops when the guy in the white house comes on, the guy is a chameleon, changes tunes faster than a disc Jockey, hates America and all it stands for.

I usually don’t watch him, but then I did. His head was bobbing side to side – I thought why doesn’t he look into the camera like all the other pres when speaking to the American people. It was hard to watch, and I’m sure it was because of the teleprompters. Who said he was a good communicator, no inflection in voice, etc. He is a dud all the way around!!!

ONTIME

Turn the sound off, there’s some humor there….

ONTIME

We are witnessing the WH Faker again choking on his own regurgitation, a acid reflux reaction when quizzed about that ending the war in Iraq…..I hope he thinks hard on this when he is in jail……

Linda

He will have plenty of time to think about it when he is in hell.

dee

Christians don’t always fight back so we are easy targets..turning the other cheek….Isis is cowardly in that babies and Christians don’t fight back….so…what is the pres. afraid of.
Wipe out this group and send a message that we are not ”done in yet!”……America is still the champion of the underdogs…God help us all.
Better the fight over there than over here…

You are indeed naive if you think it can not happen here. With all the Muslims Obama is bringing into this nation, it is only a matter of time.

Linda

Our nation is being destroyed from within.

I guess they fancy themselves to be real tough guys when they behead babies.

Green is the color of Islam.

When translating anything from one language to another, it has to make sense. During the translation of the Holy Bible, the translators came across a word that translated into GREEN, however, it didn’t make sense. Hence they figured that it meant PALE.

And behold a PALE horse, and he that sat upon him, his name was Death, and hell followed him. And power was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to kill with sword, with famine, and with sickness, and with the beasts of the earth. -Revelation 6:8

America is two elections away from returning to the Constitution. Pelosi was fired for obmasscare and now it is Ried’s turn to lose the Senate. With a potential sweep of the Senate a two thirds majority could annul all obmasscare and green laws and executive orders in January 2015. Palin-Cruz in 2016 could give 16 years to return the Whitehouse to jobs and prosperity. If people will pray and register friends to vote, volunteer, and stay focused on the goals then anything is possible. God Bless America and Jesus is Lord! Respectfully; John McIntyre

Obola is an arrogant, pompous, adolescent Trojan Horse, and saboteur. He’s been bent on our destruction since his un-vetted arrival and election by fools with their hands out for his false promises of the impossible free lunch. His secrets, lies, and denials are deafening. We are more divided racially than since the 1950s, and a greater number of Americans are on public assistance than ever before. Pray this dangerous, shameful era of obamanation ends peacefully.

“As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials.” ~ Newt Gingrich
